Description

The gang is extremely violent, with major interests in protection, narcotics and human trafficking. While the Da Nang Boys are portrayed as a major Vietnamese gang in the city, two other sects, the Shining Razors and the Butterfly Children, were mentioned in the game and in the official GTA San Andreas website, and are said to be active in Easter Basin. Their turf is mainly in Easter Basin and their main front is their ship anchored out in San Fierro Bay. They also have turf in Esplanade North and Esplanade East. The Da Nang Boys are seen wearing either street attire (in the form of t-shirts and pants), or traditional robes. They wield weaponry such as pistols, Micro Uzis and, in a few missions, AK-47s and Shotguns. As for their gang cars, they are seen driving around in Tampas, Mananas and Buccaneers, and their favorite radio station seems to be Bounce FM, as evidenced when the player jacks one of their gang vehicles.

The Da Nang Boys are also at war with the local San Fierro Triads and were responsible for the massacre of the Blood Feather Triad. They have also targeted the Triads' leaders, namely Ran Fa Li and Wu Zi Mu, in one instance attempting an assassination. With the help of Carl, however, the Triads responded with numerous attacks and schemes, such as an amphibious and an aerial attack on the Da Nang Boys' freight ships. Though the aerial attack proved to be unsuccessful, Carl manages to infiltrate the cargo ship, and frees some refugees held captive by the Da Nang Boys. He also managed to kill many members of the gang, including their leader, The Snakehead.

It is unlikely that the Da Nang Boys were finished in San Fierro after these events, as they continue to appear in the city. They were, however, seriously weakened by the loss of their leader and the attacks on their cargo ships.
